Mihail, The colors and softness are lovely. I like the low perspective and the depth. I almost wish the tree had more definition or wasn't there. The sky blue is nice. Can you share your post processing steps? Thanks. This looks like an Orton effect.:)Very nicely done.

Agreed with Denise about tree but apart from that you gotta love this, excellent !!

Denise, Harshad, thanhs for looking and nice coments!

It is the negative:

Procedure:

In ACR, I set the cursor CLARITY at maximum left.
I increased image to 200% and worked to SHARPENING as I liked at that moment (I exaggerated a little).
I worked with TONE/CURVE and next in HSL until we reached the result that sees (approximative).
In PS - fine tuning with BLUR TOOL and SHARPEN TOOL directly on the details (the image zooming to 100-200%).
Also in PS - fine tuning in SELECTIVE COLOR and HUE/SATURATION

*Shutting placed in the knee (sitting on my knee), the maximum aperture open, focus - up close (maxim), focal lens - minim (17mm)


In the same style:

Here I have used filter -> distort -> lens correction. The birds - added later. Different layers.

For all: sorry for my horrible English!

Excellent work, Mihail! Love the colors, depth, and feel. I'm very curious what you did. :)

Edit: Our posts crossed. Thanks for the workflow!

Thanks Christopher!

Thank you for sharing your workflow. The second image is very nice also. I like the fish-eye look you created.

With pleasure!

Thanks!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!
Was a way more "visible" to make a bow to you.

Not a problem at all.:) I appreciate the kind gesture.

Like your PP, like D, I wish the tree had more definition, Might give a good anchor to the shot. Love the colour of the wheat.

Don't know whether or not this is barley, but it reminds me of Sting's singing of being'...among the fields of barley...among the fields of gold'. Lovely post processing. KB

Jackie, Kora, Thanks for looking and comments!

*Kora, was a wheat field. And I like, also, Sting's song.

I agree with some of the others where the tree is concerned. However, it is really amazing what you managed to do with this photo.

To me, this shows that postprocessing is an art in itself. Please don't take this the wrong way, but the original image does not look so special to me. But after what you did to it, it's the type of thing that could end up on my wall. :)

Thanks Inge! Much enjoy your words to me.
